joshi4··on Show HN: Divjoy – React Codebase and UI Generator
This is amazing. Creating a site from scratch takes a lot of time, WYSIWYG website builders are not very customizable. You are in the exact sweet spot I look for as a developer. Seriously great work !

joshi4··on Show HN: Gmake – A thin wrapper around make that finds makefiles for you
The most common mistake I make while using make ( no pun intended ) is to invoke the command from a child directory where no Makefile is present.

I wrote gmake to solve that pain point.

Why not simply use the -C flag that is built into make ?

make provides a -C flag which accepts the path to the make file but that defeats the purpose as it is more effort/time consuming to type it out.

Using your bash history does reduce the pain of repeating the -C flag, however, that fails when you have to switch amongst different repos/makefiles quite frequently.

Infact, using gmake will make it possible to use your bash history more consistently as gmake test or gmake build are common enough and the -C flag is abstracted away
